The Dark Secret

Hey, Nessie here, I just started a story about Kent's dark secret! Here it is, and I hope you like it!

Tell me what you think! Thanks. (:

Prolouge

“I’m fine,” Kent said to Dalin as the rain fell upon him.

Dalin snorted to say he wasn’t convinced.

Kent sighed, “I will be fine…eventually.” I’m never going back to Berk again.

“We need to land somewhere!” Kent shouted through the rain.

Dalin focused his vision along the horizon. He saw a small island, and grunted to get Kent’s attention.

“I can’t see a thing, go there and we will have to wait out the storm.” He held onto Dalin tighter. His dragon roared and dove toward the small dark island.

Kent had no idea that this small island would change his life forever.

They walked along the rocky shore looking for shelter, all they could find was a slight overhang against the cliff. Kent sat down with his dragon next to him.

The viking got pushed awake. “Ow! What was that for?” Dalin made a low growl. Once his eyes focused, he noticed that Dalin was alert with his spines out.

“What is it boy?” Kent squinted at the figure coming out of the darkness. “It can’t be…”

As the figure came closer and clearer into view, and Kent heart and mind were racing. He wanted to say that it was impossible, but the proof was slowly crawling towards him. It was a Night Fury.

Chapter One – The Fight

Kent Sorethon sighed deeply and brushed the hair out of his face. I’m definitely not going today! I don’t care about the making of leather! Kent did his Nadder call to Dalin. Just after, he saw his best friend, a strong Deadly Nadder, black and neon green. He landed firmly right next to Kent.

“Good morning!” Kent greeted his dragon with a scratch under his chin. “You ready to go explore Dalin?”

Dalin gave Kent a look that said you’re missing school… again?

“Don’t give me that look! We are learning about the functions of leather!” Kent exclaimed. He mounted of Dalin and commanded, “To the woods!”

Kent enjoyed the ride to the woods, he loved the feeling wind through his black hair. He gazed around the woods, and said, “to our normal spot, ok?”

Dalin snorted to reply to his owner.

Kent spent the next 3 hours observing and sketching in his notebook while Dalin dozed off next to him. He was in the middle of drawing a terrible terror when he saw a Zippleback’s shadow… with a rider.

“Uh oh.”

The sleeping Nadder heard this dragon coming and instantly was alert, he made a dragon groan to his viking.

The green Zippleback landed solidly on the ground in front of them.

“Kent!”

“Hey… dad. What are you doing here?”

“Looking for you! You skipped your classes again?!” Samuel Sorethon ranted, “You can’t just skip classes Kent! You need to learn! Your grades are horrible! Your mother and I are very disappointed in you!”

“School isn’t fun dad! I can’t just be there! I need to be out here exploring! That’s what I do best!” Kent argued.

Samuel grabbed his notebook out of Kent’s hands. “All you do is sit out here…“ he opened the notebook and saw the drawings, “and doodle!” He looked disgusted at his son, “Do you even want to be successful?!”

Kent tried to explain, “Yes! Yes I do! I just - ”

Samuel interrupted him, “- from what you doing, you don’t. You’re… hopeless!”

Kent glanced at his dragon then at the ground. “Is that…really how you see me?”

“From what I know, yes! You are useless and stupid!”

“Well, then why don’t I just leave if I’m no use to you! Then you won’t have to care!” Kent yelled at his Father.

“At least all our kids would be successful now!”

“Fine!” Kent shouted while holding back tears, “I’ll just leave! There’s no point being here anyways!” He mounted his dragon and took off into the sky.

Chapter 2 - The Discovery

“I’m fine,” Kent said to Dalin as the rain fell upon him.

Dalin snorted to say he wasn’t convinced.

Kent sighed, “I will be fine…eventually.” I’m never going back to Berk again.

“Just keep going,” Kent said to his dragon. Dalin snorted in reply.

They flew for hours through dark thick clouds, and rain started to sprinkle. After three minutes of rain, Dalin growled to get his owner’s attention.

“What is it boy?” Kent questioned.

Dalin growled again in a slightly lighter tone.

“Then what should we do Dalin? There’s no land anywhere!” Every second that passed, the rain got thicker and thicker. Kent was soaking wet, and he was blinded for the water poring upon him.

“We need to land somewhere!” Kent shouted through the rain.

Dalin focused his vision along the horizon. He saw a small island, and grunted to get Kent’s attention.

“I can’t see a thing, go there and we will have to wait out the storm.” He held onto Dalin tighter. His dragon roared and dove toward the small dark island.

Kent had no idea that this small island would change his life forever.

They walked along the rocky shore looking for shelter, all they could find was a slight overhang against the cliff. Kent sat down with his dragon next to him.

The viking got pushed awake. “Ow! What was that for?” Dalin made a low growl. Once his eyes focused, he noticed that Dalin was alert with his spines out.

“What is it boy?” Kent squinted at the figure coming out of the darkness. “It can’t be…”

As the figure came closer and clearer into view, and Kent heart and mind were racing. He wanted to say that it was impossible, but the proof was slowly crawling towards him. It was a Night Fury.

Kent gasped. “Night fury….”

The dark dragon did a low angry growl. Kent had always imagined that all Night Fury’s were all black. He was definitely wrong. This Night Fury had neon green markings on him, sort of the color of Dalin, his Nadder.

Dalin stepped in front of Kent and let out a deep warning growl.

“No!” Kent said to quiet his dragon, “maybe he will let us be friends.”

The angry dragon stared into Kent’s eyes and growled loudly.

This next part of the story is told by a different character: Iris Kayline

Chapter 3 -Izlandai

Iris Kayline was only seven years old when her family was banished from Berk. She, her father, Tartarus, and her mother, Tala, took as much as they could when they sailed off to find their new home. They eventually came across an ice-covered island, which is now called Izlandai. They built a new home and started a new life.

No one knows if it was the ice that froze their hearts and made Berk as their enemy or the hatred for the chief who banned them. Iris, being so young, didn’t fully understand why they left, but she did know they were never going back.

As Iris reached her 10th birthday, she became of age to have her own dragon, shortly after she left the house eagerly and went off on a journey to find her own dragon. But the little girl, would never realize what she would find would change her life forever.

“Good bye father,” Iris said while hugging Tartarus. She next went to Tala, “Goodbye mother.”

Tala had tears in her eyes and questioned, “You have everything, right?” The worried mother took her daughter’s bag and rummaged through it. “Food, water, an extra blanket, the book, a map, and – “

“ – Yes, yes and all yes’s” Iris cut her off and looked her mother in the eyes, “I will be fine mother, don’t worry!” She glanced to her dad and back, “I’ll miss you!” She turned to the door and rushed out.

“Be safe…” Tala said quietly.

“She will be fine,” Tartarus said as he wrapped his arms around his wife. “She is a smart girl, she can do it. He stared out at the tracks his young girl had left with an assured look.

On Izlandai, dragons were scarce due to the below freezing weather. She searched around the frozen island for for 3 days. Iris was losing hope, and was running out of food. She saw many dragons in many caves, but none of the dragons made a bond with her.

As she came to another cliff, Iris sighed. “There are no dragons here for me.” With a discouraged heart, she sat down on what she rested against the nearest rock. A tear rolled down her cheek, “I’m so sorry… I have failed.”

Suddenly and Iris was wiping her tears, something pushed her right off the rock and into the snow.

Iris and turned to see what caused her to fall, and her eyes went wide to see this beautiful white dragon stand and shook all the ice off herself. The dragon yawned and then looked at the young girl curiously. She stared back, and mouthed out, “Woahh.”

The icy dragon circled the child that laid in the snow with awe and hidden fear. Iris voice cracked when she said, “Hi.” The beautiful dragon stopped and sniffed the girl. My name is Iris Kayline, uhh..” she lifted her arm when the dragon nudged her side. Iris took a deep breath and tried to pet the dragon, when she touched her cold scales she smiled, “You are….amazing… I’ve never seen any dragon like you before.”

The dragon gave her a prideful look.

Iris reached in her handbag and pulled out her notebook and flipped through the pages. “Neither does the dragon book… Are you all alone?” she asked the dragon and the dragon snorted in reply.

“Me too, uh, I mean, my family lives on this island, but other than that there isn’t anyone else.” She approached cautiously to move closer to the mysterious dragon. After she fully embraced the dragon she asked hopefully, “Can I take you home?”

The white dragon roared into the sky then bowed and let Iris climb on her back.

“You don’t have to be alone anymore,” she said patting the dragon. She smiled as she thought, and now I don’t have to be lonely.

The new pair took off and glided above the snow-covered mountains. She guided the dragon back to her hut and landed and jumped off happily to tell her parents.

She threw open the door and blurted out, “I found a dragon!” Iris took a breath, “I found a dragon!” Iris added after throwing herself in her parent’s arms, “I’m not sure what species she is though.”

Her parents gave each other a nervous glance and went outside to see their daughter’s new friend.

“I’m going to call her Nyssi.” Iris said proudly and hugged her dragon.
